FURTHER DETAILS OF THE
(CAPTURE OF THE APPAM j
Seven Ships Taken in Four Days.
There were twenty-two men in the :
prize crew under Lieut. Berge and I
some twenty Germans on board the1
li::er -bound for prison camps in Eng- j
land were pressed into service. j
The capture of the Appam marked
t e taking of the seventh English ves-1
sel in the period of four days, all the
creraticns occurring less than 200
m les Oi'f the coact of Spain. On Jan
u?ry 13th, the Dromonby, Author. J
Trader and Ariadne were taken in the
A lantic still further at sea and north- j
ward.
The day after the Appam was cap- j
ti:red the raider attacked the British
steamer Clan MacTavish. Accounts dif- j
fer as to the distance from the Appam I
hat the attack upon .the MacTavish j
took <place. It is "variously estimated j
at. frcm five to ten miles. The distance |
not ro great, however, that flashes
of fire were not visible from the liner.
Only the prize crew, however, had a
fair view of th# capturt.
Germans Refuse to Talk. |
Details of what happened still are
unavailable, as the Germans refuse to 1
talk. It appears, however, that the
Mao Tavish. mounting a little sixpounder
on her bow, attempted resis- j
tance and was subjected to a heavy |
fire from the raider's bigger guns- Fifteen
of her men were killed and many
wounded before the merchantman went
down under the fusillade. There were
;n..iarmr Avrvi^sions as. she eank.
V illtOi iV* v?r.v
The fate of the master of the Mac-1
Tavish is unknown, but he is believed j
to be with many of his crew on board {
the raider. The Appam steered close, I
but was ordered back. Later four of
the MacTavish's crew, three of them
severely wounded, were sent aboard
the liner in a small boat.
Then the prize crew headed the Appam
westward and proceeded in company
with the so-called Moewe until
the next morning. Just when rhe raider
disappeared and what direction she
took is unknown to the Englishmen j
and there has been no word of her j
since that day, January 17th.
The Appam steered directly for this
pert, according to the Englishmen.
Tried to Keep American Officials Off.
Determined efforts were made by
German guards to keep United States
officials off the liner while Prince von
Hatzfeldt was aboard. Immigration
Inspector Morton of Norfolk first!
clashed wit'n the guard. Morton
brushed past the sailor and climbed
the companionway. A few minutes'
later he was engaged in a somewhat,
heated conversation with the prince,!
who took nim to task for making an
inspec icn of the ship yesterday dur
ing Lieut. Berge's absence ashore. The !
prince indicated that he expected to 1
take the matter up with Washington !
but soon afterwards agreed that it was ,
not important.
During iM'orton's inspection he dis- ,
covered the American, tTagliaferri, a |
minerhwho had shipped from Seccondi
011 the Appam for Liverpool on his
way home to Nevada. Tp to the time
Morton appeared Tagliaferri had not

bring English delegations ashore "for

the English consul.
Prisoners Cheer.
A great cheer went up from the interned
prisoners when a launch came
alongside and the announcement was '
made that they soon would be free.
German guards made futile attempts
to quiet the English subjects.
"Hey, I am an American citizen; I
am Theodore Baldwin and I was born |
in New York," shouted one man.
Nothing more than the man'e word
is at hand to substantiate his claim, 1
however, and it is believed 'he was
